Smug unmarrieds … Keanu Reeves and Robin Wright Penn in The Private Lives of Pippa Lee
Rebecca Miller's 2008 novel of the same name provides the recipe for this hugely overegged pudding of a film, adapted and directed by the author.
- The Private Lives of Pippa Lee
- Release: 2009
- Country: USA
- Cert (UK): 15
- Runtime: 93 mins
- Directors: Rebecca Miller
- Cast: Alan Arkin, Blake Lively, Julianne Moore, Keanu Reeves, Maria Bello, Monica Bellucci, Robin Wright Penn, Winona Ryder
It's an indulgent, complacent family comedy-drama, for which Miller has mobilised a starry cast. An ageing publisher, crustily played by Alan Arkin, is experiencing subtle new strains of domestic tension with his beautiful, enigmatic second wife Pippa: this is a nice, poised performance from Robin Wright Penn. A series of voiceover-driven flashbacks disclose her own wild-child past, which she repudiated on getting married in penance for an awful secret guilt.
Wright Penn's dissatisfaction propels her to an affair with a funky neighbour: a heart-sinkingly blank, affectless performance from Keanu Reeves, who has never looked more lobotomised on screen. None of the characters is seeing a shrink, but this story surely has its origins in therapy. A film that is very pleased with itself.

Keanu Reeves, who unfortunately was NOT photographed jogging on the street shirtless, was seen shopping with a few females in NYC. Even with a full beard, a hat and sunglasses the paparazzi managed to track the actor down. It's... amazing.

If I was in Rome right now all I would think of is eating their fab food and drinking their amazing wine 24/7, just like Keanu Reeves is doing! The actor was spotted having lunch with a friend today.
Recently a woman in Canada filed a lawsuit against Reeves claiming he owes her child support for his three children with her. She says she has known him since she was 9 years old and he was 7 years of age. Reeves spokesperson denies his client ever met the woman, Karen Sala.
She seeks a DNA test and child support of $150,000 per month, retroactive to June 1988, as well as $3 million per month in spousal support retroactive to November 2006.
Did I mention the "children" are all over 20 years of age now? Oh and she doesn't have any proof or an attorney. Sorry babe but I am having a hard time believing ya!http://www.accidentalsexiness.com/2009/06/14/keanu-reeves-when-in-rome/
